We're watching Cape Town's murder and gun-related crime stats skyrocket after one weekend. The South African Police in the Mother City had their hands full on Saturday as several shooting incidents resulted in the death of seven people in different areas across the city. Shockingly but not so surprisingly, IOL reports that on January 13, a total of seven murders and 12 attempted murders were recorded by police.
Less than 30 minutes after that shooting, police in Khayelitsha responded to a mass shooting in Albertina Sisulu Drive in Makhaya. Four men, aged between 30 and 40, were gunned down by unknown suspects, who fled the scene and are being pursued by police. Two other men were also injured at the time and are being treated in hospital while the police try and figure out the motive for the murders. Then, later that evening at 10.45PM seven people were shot in Hanover Park in Johndown Walk.
